Desoto High School

Summary:

Desoto High School is a public magnet high school located in Desoto, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,216 students. The school is part of the Desoto Independent School District, which is ranked 767 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Desoto High School faces significant challenges in academic performance, graduation rates, and serving its diverse student population, particularly its African American and Hispanic students. The school consistently underperforms compared to state and district averages on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams, with proficiency rates ranging from 22.11% in Algebra I to 53.24% in U.S. History, while the state averages were 44.73% and 69.10%, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate has declined from 92.6% in 2019-2020 to 88.0% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate has increased from 0.9% in 2017-2018 to 4.0% in 2021-2022, which is higher than the state average.

While Desoto High School's performance is generally lower than that of nearby public charter schools, such as Uplift Hampton Preparatory High School and Cedar Hill Collegiate High School, which outperform Desoto High School on academic measures, the school does perform better than some nearby traditional public schools, such as Mary E. Smithey Pace High School and Winfree Academy Charter School Dallas, which have even lower academic performance and higher dropout rates. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, its academic performance remains low, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional quality, school leadership, and student engagement, may be contributing to the school's challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Horrible school. Drugs are everywhere. Teachers starting fights with students. It just horrible Close Quote

The principle has lost control of everything. Rather than focusing on the students, she bans nike socke, made us have 5 pep rallies in a row, and cost us to get behind onn work. Most of the teachers/counselors that don't do their work right are friends with the principle and are not disciplined or fired. Good teachers that exert their time for the students have left[Mrs.Green}. We have had for a whole six week a sub. With no teacher insight. For right now, we have a teacher witth good intentions flipflopping between classes of physics and chemistry. He is hurting both vclasses instead of one. Most of the teachers are disgruntled with the principle. I would not reccomen this school if you value an education or want to study debate, net enginneering 1 and 2, since they gave thatt teacher three classes to teach instead of 1. The assistant principle DO NOT REPLY AT ALL. RATHER EAT THEIR LUNCH THE SAME DAM DAYS INSTEAD OF CHANGING THEIR EATING HABITS TO SETTLE DISPUTES BETWEEN TEACHER AND STUDENT. THIS REVIEW WONT DO MUCH. TEACHERS HAVE SENT STUDENT TO BE EXPEELLED BUT THEIR REQUEST HAVE BEEN DENIED. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
